Before starting another epic project, I find it’s always a good idea to start fresh and spend some time messing around with some new projects that only take an afternoon to finish. Today, I decided to do another space scene. This one didn’t turn out as awesome as I was hoping, but I did things a little differently and just painted the whole thing free hand.
I wonder to myself, if I only posted this finished (?) piece of artwork and you’re seeing it for the very first time right this second in it’s finished state, would it seem more impressive? Obviously yes, right? During my Year of Creative Habits I need to post my progress every single day for a year, so it’s unavoidable for people like you to see my more complicated content each and every day as it gets published. So, I’m wondering how I should go about showing off my content when my year long adventure is completed in just a couple weeks from now.
Today I did three Pomodoro’s! What does that mean? I’m not entirely sure, actually. I’m quite sure that’s something I just made up a moment ago. Though, “Pomodoro” is a real thing; a time management system. I’m just not entirely sure if I’m doing it right at this moment in time. This is my first day using this technique after all.
Now I feel that the scene is starting to really come together. I’m starting to think that I should of tried to paint Pluto in the background there, but I’m not going to redraw it. Not to mention that in the Star Wars universe, it’s obviously not set in our galaxy. I just think it would of been a bit timely to throw Pluto in there, and I wish I would of thought of it earlier on today.
You know those moments where you’re trying to do something awesome, and right when you get into the groove of things everything starts to break apart and – before you get super annoyed – you leave it alone and go do something else? Well, anyways, perhaps not everyone goes through things like that. I did today, however.
A whole lot of changes were made to this digital painting today! Removed some bits, added a lot more bits. Now it seems like everyday my Sorta Death Star takes on a whole new form. It’s definitely a piece that’s going to keep evolving it seems. Though I’m definitely satisfied with how it’s looking at the moment.
I’m not sure which I prefer, the red crystal thing, or the green curly things. Maybe neither, actually. I could just go with the big satellite dish-esque cannon by itself. What do you think? I’m really not sure how I feel about either of those at the moment.
